Spamalot...I say Funalot!!!

I...love...Spamalot!

If you are a fan of British humor or anything Monty Python, then you have got to go and see Spamalot. Tammie got me tickets to the show in Fort Worth for our anniversary. We made arrangements for child care (thank you Billy and Tyfanny) and headed up north.

Aside from high gas prices (yikes!) our only other concern was, well, Bailey. So far we have not had very good luck leaving Bailey with babysitters at night (during the day, fine. At night, "no-way-Jose!"). So Tam and I decided to try something new. We drove up earlier in the day and met with Uncle Billy. The plan was to let Uncle Billy play with her for a while and let her get accustomed to someone else taking care of her for a while. The results...

Success! (mostly) After dinner, Tammie and I headed out to the theater (insert bad British accent) and left Bailey with her aunt and uncle. There was just a little bit of crying, probably because she was hungry, then everything settled down. The only other hitch was that she wouldn't go to bed until Tammie and I got back from the theater (again...British accent).

The show was hilarious and Bailey was a good girl. Everything was a success and (I think) everyone had a good time. I'm sorry that Tammie and I didn't get to spend more time with Uncle Billy and Aunt Tyf, but Billy has way too much studying to do (good luck, Bill) and Tyfanny has got too much work to do (try not to get bit by anymore dogs...quick hands, quick hands).

So, my final recommendations...Spamalot is coming to Austin next March. Buy your tickets early (the shows were almost completely sold out before Tammie got us tickets) and have a great time. It is British humor and Monty Python at that, so be forewarned...it can be a bit raunchy at times.
